Abstract
The study aimed to examine value chain of sesame varieties in some areas of Bangladesh. The specific objectives were i) to estimate the cost and return of Binatil-1and Binatil-2, ii) To identify the value chain of Binatil-1 and Binatil-2 iii) To determine the constraints of Binatil-1 and Binatil-2 cultivation; and iv) to suggest recommendations for policy guidelines. Both primary and secondary data were used for this study. Descriptive statistics analysis using average, percentage, ratio, etc. and value chain analysis were done in this study. The average cost of production of Binatil is BDT. 30341.08 per hectare and yield is 1.23 t ha-1; which indicates to a production cost of BDT 24.81/kg. The average human labour cost was BDT 19803.83 per hectare; fertilizer cost was BDT. 3990.84 and land preparation cost was BDT 3164.84 per hectare. The cost of human labour, fertilizer and land preparation are the major cost items of Binatil production. The average price for Binatil 1& Binatil 2 was BDT 38 and net return was BDT 16306.42. In case of Binatil-1, producer share was 65 percent for value chain-I and 55 percent for value chain-II and it was 63 and 56 percent respectively for Binatil-2.
